Also, you shouldn't use ifconfig to make any changes because the settings
won't hold after a reboot (as you've discovered). Use changeip and
networksetup. ifconfig should only be used for viewing purposes.

More importantly you shouldn't use ifconfig to implement changes since it doesn't notify the OS. See networksetup. (There's a man page and it responds to -help)


Also might the poster's issue be that the NI's between the machines have different priorities? I'm not clear how the relationship between the IP blocks on each and routing is configured, but it could also be an issue relating to default route. There wasn't enough to make a determination.
